So we’re back to relying on arbitrary enforcement where Game of Thrones should be banned and called kiddie porn according to this policy.

Notice that the terms of service restricts “prohibited themes” that “contain these topics”. It doesn’t say what that any kind of “phonographic” detail is required to be in violation. If this is restricting only pornographic material than why would this example game be delisted - it’s a pure text...

Seems to be displaying ok for me - I’m currently on my phone so this is just the viewer in my Sync app.

While I appreciate finding some new punk music to check out I think you have the wrong link here

When Staffan admitted he wasn’t too familiar with academic publishing it seemed clear this wasn’t a conversation of two experts but an expert and someone more familiar than you but still a layperson. You might not have intended this impression but your response to this to ask them be more...

I'm curious to see how the Warcaster turned out - so page 52 please

I managed to track down the source to a New Yorker article behind a paywall, though this link will give access without a subscription. It's actually a pretty nice article that I feel gives a reasonably balanced description of why they're taking the approach they are and other more reasonable...

Biochemist checking in here. We know from what the company has told us that these absolutely do not have anything close to the full genome of a dire wolf. They only mutated 20 positions out of ~12 million differences. Of those 20 changes, only 15 were even changes to something that matched...

Link to vote is in latest update and doesn’t seem to be restricted to backers https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shadowdarkrpg/western-reaches/posts/4347679 Martial options are barbarian, jester, paladin, and a fourth I forgot but can’t open once I voted. Options for caster are alchemist...
